ed "truce" with business interests Roosevelt made a tour of
the Tennessee valley and there bluntly said what he was do
ing there would be duplicated in every state, which sent cold
shivers up the spines of private investors in utility bonds and
stocks. Returning to Washington Mr. Roosevelt took offense
when the president of the Edison institute proposed a test
of. the constitutionality of TV A, Then the president offered
to lend New York money to build a municipal plant if the ex
isting utilities did not cut their rates; and made a blanket
extension of the same offer to other cities over the country.
JThe consequence is seen in the slump in values of utility
securities on the stock exchanges. The drop was some
$275,000,000 in the firjjt 20 days of November. The sagging
has continued since then ; and these declines, it must be re
membered are on top of several years of declining quotations.
If recovery is one of the gqals of this administration, this is
a very singular way in which to bring it about, by washing
away through executive denouncement the accumulated sav
ings oi thousands of thrifty citizen's. If the government de
sires to encourage owners of capital to make fresh invest
ments and thus start anew, the wheels of industry this is a
strange method of inducing them to invest in enterprises,
for surely none is so essential as electricity, water, gas, tele
phone, etc.
The president has expressed the view that power rates
are 50 per cent too high. Yet in practically every state these
rates are determined by regulatory bodies. In this state , a
diligent utility commissioner has not succeeded in securing
rate reductions save by negotiation. John Taxpayer m&yMy
with equal point that taxes are 50 per cent too high ; but the
'new deal" has merely succeeded in increasing them for the
present and for unknown years to come.
Utility companies have sinned; but the wounds of these
new bludgeonings are falling not so much on the few who
have committed the offenses as on the tens of thousands of
ordinary citizens who thought it was both safe and honorable
to invest their savings in bonds and preferred stocks and

which seeks to ease mortgage burdens of land and home own
ers even to the extent of bankrupting some creditors who
may be equally needy, does not hesitate to pauperize those
who were investors in utility enterprises.
The New York Herald-Tribune comments pointedly on
the issue in a recent editorial entitled "Government by
Threat":' .
"There are various ways of governing. One Is by setting up
Impartial agencies, first to find the facts and then to make rales
Just to all concerned. That is the system which the leadership
of Charles Evans Hughes created in this State in the Public
Service Commissions. It is government by laws, not men; it is the
American way of order and fairness.
"Another way is that being pursued by the Mayor and the
President with respect to the local utilities. Nobody in Washing
ton or at the City Hall takes seriously the threat of building a
city plant and distribution system. The cost is so enormous and
the delay so great as to make the loud talk something les3 than
impressive. Very likely the President and the Mayor would go
through with the plan if they were clear as to the political ad-

"We have before expressed the opinion that the President
had selected the utilities as his whipping boy for 13 4. Having fin
ished off the bankers, he yearned for a new victim. He is for
getting one point, however. When he cracks the whip over the
Consolidated Gas he Is welting also some 120,000 stockholders.

" t'The life Insurance companies, the colleges, the charitable
organizations all have great holdings in these companies. To
get a few cheers from the mob Mr. LaGuardia and Mr. Roosevelt
are willing to wipe out hard-earned savings of father, mothers,
widows and children without a hearing, without a pretense of
fairs ess.
"Such a wanton and wasteful duplication of plant and dis
tributing system as is proposed here could not happen in the
most unplanned system la the world. And it Is seriously pro
posed, or. at least noisily threatened, in the name of a planned
economy'! A more deflationary proceeding it would be difficult
to conceive.-If the President really intends to continue such dis
- turblng and destructive shocks to business and savings generally,
he might as well abandon all thought of recovery and turn the
nation over to the Tugwells and the Soviets."

Nea-Stocka; this way to the coast
being, according to description,

They crossed around the point
at Barview, the northern ent
rance of Tillamok bay, and, the
next day, having gotten across the
Nehalem river, were at the foot
of Neahkahnle mountain, where
they rested and camped for the
night, anticipating the hard task
before them.
But they got themselves and
their atoek over that mountain
with an ease that surprised them.
They profited by their experience
of a few weeks before. Pioneers
found the fear ot crossing Neah
kahnie one of the greatest hind

" Kay rare a little start. The same
thing Harrow had told her in other
words: "Be true to yourself."
"What's the matter?" Pete asked.
"Nothing, Kay said, but she
could see he was puzzled. There was
no dealing with Pete; nor would
there be any with Harrow, if thrors

Well, she was prepared to suffer in
her turn. But so far aha was safe.
Cold and selfish as it seemed, the
career was the thing. -And
a if the interview with Pete
weren't enough, Boris Warren re
turned that afternoon and wanted
to talk to her again in his shy, fu
tile WIT.
. Boris said: "When this play is
over and that mar be very soon,
you know there is something' I

"Oh, don't be cynical about the play.

"Remember." Boris repeated, as
if he had not heard her "there will
be something I want to ask you."
That evening they all stayed
home and played bridge. Boris
Warren was staying the night, but
took no-part in the game. He lay
down, his full six feet four, by the
fireplace, smoking his clay pipe and
reading some huge eld book, bound
in stained calf, that he had selected
from Harrow's library. -Except
when she happened to look in that
direction, Kay would not have
known he was in the room.
When they finally stopped the
Kme and sat back to sip a little
er and eat hard-toasted crackers
spread with cheese. Spike sat down
with Kay, apart from the rest.
"I'd better "start putting you
straight on some of the plana," he
said. "Now, the main thing is you
arent sunoosed to be anybody yet.
Fact is, 4've talked Earl into not
dragging you around town so mucn
until we're ready to shoot. Some
one of these columnists or somebody
is liable to shoot the works.- You
can.'t trust them all, you know; gos
sip is what they're after and you
cant blame them."
"I like that," Kay observed with
mock anger, "putting a stop to my
good times!?
Spike grinned, a little sourly. Kay
thought, and continued: "You may
not realize it, baby, but your good
times are over for a long- time. It's

"Of course." Kay said. "And
thafs what I'm here for to work.'
Snika rrinned at her more
warmly. "You slay me, Kay; hon
estly, you do. Jtstn l m xor you ana
dont forget It. Now, one of the
first things we're going to have to
do is spring a little romance wnen
the time comes, that is."
"Romance? Really nowl" Kay
said. "How so?"
"The public's got to see you as

They've got to start wagging their

it'"
"But. wont that be a little I
dont know a little too much?" she
asked.
She could imagine how Pete
would like that.
"It's part of the job, sister. And
Harrows going to hate it. Oh, how
he's going to hate itt Am I right
or am I right?"
Spike smiled at her slyly.
And it isnt going to be any
hardship for you, he accused.
e ' e
It was on the next day that Kay
began work with Ben Leschin, the
director. Because Leschin was a
busy man, so he insisted, Kay had
to run in to the city for her appoint
ments with him. For all her ama
teur experience, the first day was
an ordeal. She rode with Pete in
one of Harrow's cars with a Har
row driver and a Harrow "watch
dog" in the front seat and reported
(o Harrow's Manhattan theater. It
waa the first time she ever had en
tered a real theater by the stage
door and theexperience waa among
the thrills she knew she never would
forget. It waa aa if in that simple
this place, consequently all our
provisions must be transported
from that place-to this at great
expense. The missionary moat
leave his family, take an Indian
canoe and go after any supplies
he may want, as a general thing.
And In a trip of this kind he is
exposed to everything which is
ruinous to health. Ho must not
uafreqaently brave the storm by
day and camp on the bank ot the
river by Bight: and at times have
his frail bark broken or wrecked
on the passage. Five or six In
diana must be paid and fed. whose
aid is necessary to work the can
oe. The missionary family must
suffer, it may be, very much in
body, and certainly very much In
mind, during the absence of the
person upon whom they are, ai
der God, dependent tor all things
of an earthly nature. The trans-:
portation ot the supplies for the
subsistence ot the family ot the
missionary mounts to more than
they are worth; and the best sea

The reading went on, Leechm
feeding her cues in a curt, matter,
of-fact voice, and Kay reading her
speeches with what seemed to be the
proper emphasis and attitude.
"All right," Leschin said. "Now
try this. Here's a long speech. Look
it over. Then read it for me."
Kay studied the speech, the sheets
of paper trembling a little in her
hands, and then began to read.
Leschin listened noncommittally. ln
